GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Ew Jane Austin. :(

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality:

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
MOS is grand. Your prose style could work better though - the cast list is almost-halfway made up of redlinks which could be culled, for instance, and the awards section could have a prose introduction to the list.
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources:

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

C. No original research:
Sources all seem grand and are used well.
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:

B. Focused:
Scope seems grand, doesn't stray too wide or narrow.
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Neutrality is fine, not an issue here.
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
History is good and stable.
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
Images are grand. One is fair use which checks out, the other is free from commons.
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
All things toted up, I'm going to pass this as a Good Article. I still think the Cast section could do with a trimming down, though, as redlinks for actors in tiny roles is essentially a form of cruft.

Comment

I don't know if I'm allowed to add this here, but I came to say this article is extraordinarily detailed and beautifully written. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Well done!124.171.112.25 (talk) 16:46, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Screen Two

No mention of the anthology series the film is part of? --Mika1h (talk) 14:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-TFA comments

I have a few concerns over three sentences in the Release section.

"The total US gross was $5,269,757" - One of the sources for this is The Numbers. Is this RS? Is that citation even necessary, given that there's another cite for this information.
"The film also was given a limited cinema release in Australia, Germany and France in 1996" - There's probably a better source for this than "blu-ray.com"
"The film was released in VHS format on 12 November 1996" - This Alibris source also lists a sale item of the VHS version from February 1996. The Amazon product info, which is probably more reliable per the WP:RSP entry for Amazon's basic product info, goes with the November date. Is Alibris going to even be that good of a source if it also lists doubtful dates?

These should be easy to fix. Unfortunately, I'm too busy with work in RL right now to be able to dredge up the sources for this. Hog Farm _Talk 03:39, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
